In 2012, there were 30,571 Texas children in foster care. Studies show that less than 2 percent of foster children receive a bachelor’s degree after high school. More than 37 percent of Texas foster children drop out of school and never receive a high school diploma or GED. Sadly, these foster children often experience seven or more school changes during their formative years, and more than 54 percent of these children have one or more mental health issues.
